Book Reviews of Perfect Dark: Second Front (Perfect Dark (Tor))
Book Review: A solid taste of Cyberpunk-Lite
Summary: 4 Stars
Showing improvement over the first book in the series (always a good sign), the second Perfect Dark novel by Greg Rucka is a classic example of what I like to call Cyberpunk-Lite: an action thriller set in a dystopian future similar to that of the Gibsonesque cyberpunk genre but shorn of the extensive and often meandering ruminations on the nature of humanity that genre features. The story moves quickly with an overdose of action, suitably over-the-top villains, and enough background detail so that people who haven't played the games (like me) can easily follow the plot without needing a reference guide. By avoiding pretention and sticking to presenting solidly defined characters and a fast-moving plot, Rucka presents a novel that's a pleasant read and a cut above the usual franchise-spinoff fare.
